The patients will be divided in two groups (mild and moderate anemia) for data analysis, according to their hemoglobin levels. The comparisons between groups, as well as the possible relations between socio-demographic and clinical variables, and changes in IBDQ, HAD and fatigue scales will be analyzed through parametric Student's t-test, Chi-square test or nonparametric Mann-Whitney test, whenever appropriate. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses will be performed to identify possible independent predictors of oral iron response within the entire group.
